These rumors benefit those who wish to create a false impression that Ukraine's accession lacks broad support among Alliance members.
This was reported by the press secretary of the President of Ukraine, Serhiy Nikiforov.
He highlighted that, in reality, the idea of inviting Ukraine is supported by the overwhelming majority of member countries, while active advocacy efforts are underway regarding the others.
“An invitation is the first step in the plan for the victory of the President of Ukraine and a reliable path to a just and lasting peace. Volodymyr Zelensky presented this plan to international partners, the Ukrainian parliament, the community, media representatives, and civil society, consolidating their efforts to bring Ukraine closer to NATO membership,” Nikiforov stated.
Recall that the day before, Politico, citing four American officials and NATO diplomats, wrote that seven countries are allegedly against inviting Ukraine to join the Alliance. Supposedly, the “leaders” are the USA and Germany, with Hungary, Slovakia, Belgium, Slovenia, and Spain also among the “opponents.”
However, officials who spoke with Politico emphasized that neither the USA nor Germany rule out the possibility of Ukraine joining the Alliance.
Earlier, the head of the US mission to NATO, Julian Smith stated that NATO is not yet ready to offer Ukraine membership or an invitation to the Alliance (although this is one of the key points in President Volodymyr Zelensky's victory plan).
We also reported that, according to other sources, the USA does not oppose inviting Ukraine to NATO. A change in the US position could further influence Berlin's stance.
